Always good advice!!! :-) I agree... I disagree. My Omni 6+ is very susceptible to RF. Yes, I have 450 ohm ladder line coming into the shack and yes there are unequal currents flowing in each leg (i.
Carter, You should not have radiation from the 450 ohm line if the line and antenna are truly balanced. Is your antenna an end fed Zepp? That one can have 10 per cent imbalance in the parallel feeder
Actually they need to go beyond just making it "as good" as the competition, they need to strive to be better. If they are better then users can post their complaints about the RF susceptibility of t
In theory, you are absolutely right; however, in practice, (unless you are very lucky), it is almost never balanced. One end is closer to a tree or a fence or a roof or whatever. There is darned litt
Point well made, and I agree. Just an aside, twisting parallel line exposes both conductors equally to outside influences and will improve the current balance. Surprising that you had so much trouble
